Allan Martin and Melvin Gous took a popular home victory when they brought their clutchless J&P Hydraulics S3 VW Polo 4x4 home 3min41 clear of the field on the Omahooli Solutions Walvis Bay Rally on Saturday 15 October 2016.

John and Weston Peiser are masters at pacing themselves slow enough to win rallies and great mechanical sympathy sees this popular father-and-son combination achieve stunning results. Much to their own surprise they started the 9SS event in dominant fashion on Friday 7 October 2016, winning six consecutive special stages and simply doing enough on the final three stages to maintain their advantage, winning without breaking a sweat in the Speed Pro Cycling Equipment S5 WPMC Subaru Impreza 4x4 Turbo.
